From the back pages, May 20: England’s Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson ‘as good as I’ve seen’ – Cook
Alastair Cook’s first Test on home soil as England captain ended in a comfortable win, although it took an hour of supremely destructive fast bowling from Stuart Broad and James Anderson to lend the start of the Ashes summer something resembling a sense of decisive momentum. “We thought that would be a pretty tough chase,” Cook said after England’s 170-run victory. “We knew if we put the ball in the right areas we could cause damage. But there’s still a lot of nerves in there when you walk in in the morning.” (The Guardian)

From the back pages, May 18: Swing king James Anderson hits right notes to join the England chart toppers
At two minutes before 3 o’clock on a bitterly cold Lord’s afternoon, James Anderson looked down at the ball in his hand and stretched out into the rhythmical 15-pace run that has characterised the best years of his England career. Seconds later it had nestled in the hands of Graeme Swann at second slip, via Peter Fulton’s outside edge, giving Anderson his 300th Test wicket. (The Times)
From the back pages, May 17: David Beckham was one of best and most significant footballers of his generation
The most common reaction to news of David Beckham’s retirement this afternoon has been affected surprise because of a widespread belief that he actually retired several years ago – ha, ha – but such cynicism is unlikely to last too long. Strip away the celebrity circus that surrounded him and Beckham should be regarded as one of the best footballers this island has produced in the Premier League era, and certainly the most significant.

Gatwick - Coalition beaten for U-turns?
You can’t beat the Coalition Government’s reverse turns. Or can you? Gatwick Airport bosses in July last year - ‘No way we want a second runway.’ In October - ‘Give it to us, please’. It’s the mad, mad world of the aeronautical industry. Gatwick derives from the Anglo-Saxon for goat, and a lot since is plain goatish.
